Legacy Interactive Launches Pet Pals: New Leash on Life

A Portion of The Games Sales
Donated to The Humane Society of the United States

Legacy Interactive announced today
that the latest title in their award winning Pet Pals series, Pet Pals: New
Leash on Life, is available for download at
www.legacygames.com. In
this simulation-vet game players can experience what it is like to be an actual
veterinarian by diagnosing, operating, taking care of, feeding and playing with
virtual pets. There is also an enrichment portion of the game that allows
players to prepare the animals to be adopted into caring families.

In Pet Pals: New Leash on Life, the
player assumes the role of a young veterinarian starting a job at an animal
rescue center. The players goal is to nurse all of the admitted animals back to
health and ultimately place them into permanent homes. In the game players will
encounter more than 30 different animal cases, derived from practicing
veterinarians. These range from a drooling rabbit to emergencies involving a dog
who has been hit by a car or a kitten swallowing a piece of string. The player
must heal and nurture these animals, along with 15 other breeds of dogs, cats,
rabbits, and other animals

More than 45 realistic medical tools
allow the player to gather samples, palpitate and examine the animals, and even
perform surgery. Players help rescued animals through all phases of the recovery
and then have a direct influence on their adoption. When players are successful
at treating and adopting out patients, they get a promotion. With each promotion
the player is given more responsibilities and increasingly more difficult cases
to handle. Just as in the real world, during game-play, emergencies arise that
require immediate attention and players must prioritize their cases to make sure
every animal has a successful recovery. Players have the opportunity to follow
up with their animal patients to see how they succeeded with their treatments
and will receive messages from the adoptive family updating them on the progress
of the animals.

In the new enrichment element
players get to interact with their animals by petting them, playing fetch,
training, grooming, and more in order to get them ready for adoption. Also
included in the game are a variety of engaging mini-games with tons of animal
trivia and information on careers in the animal world.

Consistent with Legacys frequent
efforts to work with nonprofits, a portion of the sales from Pet Pals: New Leash
on Life has provided financial support for The Humane Society of the United
States.

"We are so excited to provide
support for the invaluable programs of The Humane Society of the United States,"
said Ariella Lehrer, President and CEO, Legacy Interactive. "We hope that by
purchasing Pet Pals: New Leash on Life players will get the opportunity to see
what its like to be a vet, have fun and at the same time feel good about
supporting a great animal protection organization."
